BECAUSE I SHALL KEEP THE SABBATH
THE DANCE OF THE SABBATH
Because I guard the Sabbath, God guards me.
It is a sign for eternity between Him and me.
It is forbidden to seek to do regular things,
Discussing only of what is nessicary,
not words of business, not even words of politics.
I study the Torah, and G-d makes me wise.
Because I guard the Sabbath, God guards me.
It is a sign for eternity between Him and me.
On [Shabbat], I always find myself and my soul,
Behold, for the first generation he gave it's holiness
From the miraculous giving of bread, the double loaves, on Friday
Thus on every Friday he doubles my portion.
Because I guard the Sabbath, God guards me.
It is a sign for eternity between Him and me.
It is written in God's Torah, a portion to his priests
For the table, the show bread is on it for him,
Therefore, to make a fast on [Shabbat] is forbidden
in accordance with his sages.
Only on the day of atonement do I fast.
Because I guard the Sabbath, God guards me.
It is a sign for eternity between Him and me.
It is a day of honor, it is a day of pleasure,
Good bread and good wine, Meat and Fish,
Mourners who are made to grieve on [Shabbat], cease
Because it is a day of joy, and I am made joyful.
Because I guard the Sabbath, God guards me.
It is a sign for eternity between Him and me.
He who labors on [Shabbat], destroy him to his end.
Therefore I wash my heart like the covenant,
And I pray to God, Night and Morning,
The Additional and also the Afternoon prayer, he answers me.
Because I guard the Sabbath, God guards me.
It is a sign for eternity between Him and me.
